I'm not aware of that being the case. Though I do think the last time I formatted my microsd card, it was as FAT, not FAT32. A quick search shows people recommending FAT32, so I don't think that's it.

Or is HaRet actually just an emulator that runs an Android environment within WinMo? I haven't really read up much on HaRet yet, as I said I just started messing with my phone recently...

It's neither. Well, it's the first, but with complications. Yes, HaRET is loading a linux kernel and completely replacing Windows Mobile in memory. However, it does this without cycling power or reinitializing the device. So the linux boot just steps into this bootstrapped environment and takes the handoff. It's a weird sort of hybrid... frankenstein's monster situation. As for your backlight issues, I'm surprised. I never had them, and people who have generally have had them solved by turning off WinMo's auto-brightness.

What's the deal with it to make it so far off? I thought it just ran on the same radio as CDMA data, but with a seperate tunnel or port if you will... Is this entirely wrong? Must admit I hadn't even cared to try GPS until I bought a phone with full GPS capabilities...

Yes, it is a part of the same radio. A non-functioning part, in the current smd driver.
The HTC Vogue (another MSM 7500-series device) now has mostly working GPS. I was just saying it seemed a long way off because the vogue has had a build with working GPS for 3 days, and is a comparatively mature, stable port. The vogue port over a year ago was where the CDMA raphael port is today.
However, there is overlap, and one may hope that since it's working on the vogue, that knowledge can just be lifted up and transferred over to our project. I am not particularly hopeful, because I see no one with the expertise, interest, and a CDMA RAPH/DIAM in his/her hand.
